Program highlights
- Intraoperative TEE is the signature strength: faculty are echo-certified, help write national TEE exams and teach during cardiac and dedicated TEE rotations; say if cardiac or echo interests you and ask how many TEE exams residents perform.
- Pediatric training at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh in addition to three AHN hospitals; ask how rotations are distributed across sites and how travel is handled.
- Simulation from the first days through CA-3 at the STAR Center; ask how simulation ties to mock orals and crisis management.
- A single integrated pathway from PGY-1 (Fundamental Clinical Skills year in AHN) through graduation; ask what the FCS year contains and how it prepares you for anesthesia.
- Residents get an annual educational allowance for a major meeting each year (CA-1 to CA-3); ask about research or poster support.
- Preparation for a broad range of practice settings and fellowships; ask where recent graduates matched, using the graduates page.
